‘Walking out of Darkness’

On Saturday May 13th, staff, Trustees, family, friends and supporters of Open Door took part in ‘Walking out of Darkness’ – a 10 mile sponsored walk along the banks of the river Thames organised by the charity CLASP. The event aims to increase mental health awareness and suicide prevention and to end stigma and discrimination.

Mental health charities and their supporters were invited to take part in Walking out of Darkness to raise funds for their own services. We are very grateful to CLASP for giving us this opportunity and enjoyed joining with others to promote mental health whilst getting fit and seeing the sights of London.

The wonderful Bowes Park Community Choir raised £760 for Open Door from their Spring Concert.
